Zusammenfassung:Organization of photoresponsive azobenzene ligands within a 3D porous framework imparts new molecular‐level functionality. The trans⇌cis conformation change of azobenzene ligands triggered by photoirradiation transduces photo energy into mechanical work, which can be used for opening and closing valves (see picture).
